Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces operating north of Vuhledar seized Trudove and Yasna Polyana and that Russian forces operating northwest of Vuhledar advanced up to 1.8 kilometers in depth north and east of Novoukrainka, reached the outskirts of Maksymivka, and are approaching Rozlyv. ISW has not observed visual confirmation of these claims, however.
